Ebanie Bridges, the Australian professional boxer known as the ‘Blonde Bomber,’ has addressed ongoing speculation regarding her relationship with UFC superstar Conor McGregor. With a professional record of 9-2 and a former IBF women’s bantamweight champion, Bridges has garnered attention not only for her skills in the ring but also for her ventures outside of boxing, including modeling and content creation on platforms like OnlyFans.

The rumors surrounding Bridges and McGregor began circulating after the pair reportedly crossed paths at the Katie Taylor-Chantelle Cameron 1 boxing event in Dublin in May 2023. Since then, they have appeared together in various social media posts, sparking speculation about the nature of their connection.

However, Bridges has now spoken out to clarify the nature of her relationship with McGregor. Despite their frequent appearances together and their business collaboration since 2023, primarily promoting McGregor’s Forged Irish Stout brand, Bridges has emphasized that their relationship is purely professional.

In a recent statement, Bridges expressed frustration at having to constantly defend their friendship against relationship rumors. She asserted that she and McGregor are not romantically involved and suggested that it should be evident to those with common sense.

“I think they have this little fantasy that we’re f**king, and then they get excited about that, and maybe go have a w**k. I don’t know, but that’s all I can think of. Because honestly, if there was something going on, I feel like we wouldn’t be together in public if we were doing something like that,” she said.

The 37-year-old pugilist highlighted the absurdity of the scenarios conjured by some individuals, who envision her and McGregor as a couple. She reiterated that if the rumors were true, they would not be seen together in public, nor would she consistently promote McGregor’s brand by donning Forged Irish Stout apparel.

“They want to think it up in their head for whatever reason, for their own little fantasies, or to try and bring me down, or to try and bring Conor down because he has a lot of haters as well,” she added.

Bridges clarified that their collaboration is strictly for promotional purposes, aiming to boost the visibility of McGregor’s brand. She urged fans and observers to refrain from jumping to conclusions and to respect the boundaries of their professional relationship.
